  • Justin Timberlake says that he and producer wunderkind Timbaland’s work on Madonna’s upcoming CD was designed to "re-invent her sound".  And why do I imagine she probably had a lesson or two for young JT?
  • Avril Lavigne has confirmed that she’s working on both a clothing and fragrance line.  So should we expect a men’s cologne named Smells Like Skater Boy?
  • Amy Winehouse’s mother Janis said in a British TV interview that her daughter is "on the road to recovery" and added that her performance on the Grammys showed that she looked good and was making progress.  I suppose not appearing like the female version of Keith Richards is progress…
  • The estate of late author J.R.R. Tolkein has sued New Line Cinema, claiming the studio has failed to pay the estate its share of the $6 billion that The Lord Of The Rings franchise has earned worldwide.  The studio insists they gave the money to Gollum, who promised to take good care of it…
  • Variety reports that Denise Richards will star in a reality series about her life as a single mother–which will not go over big with ex-husband Charlie Sheen, since he’s already objected to the idea of using the pair’s two children in any show.  Has she considererd using any of Richie Sambora’s kids?

  • Amy Winehouse and Kanye West were the big winners at last night’s Grammy Awards, with Amy winning five of the six categories where she was nominated and Kayne picking up 4–although he again lost out on winning Best New Album.   I just hope he didn’t try and fight Herbie Hancock for it…
  • Fergie is aplogizing all over herself for a statement she made in a magazine interview when she said, "I’m the people’s artist–the same way Diana was the people’s princess".  She says her New Year’s resolution is to "not treat interviews as therapy sessions"…
  • Producer-extraordinare Timbaland says he is working on the world’s first album just for cell phone users.  I image it’ll have titles like I Burned My Plan Minutes, Hot Pix Text, and Where’s My 3G?
  • Rolling Stone’s latest issue features Britney Spears on the cover and a story about how her breakup with Justin Timberlake in 2002 set her on the downward spiral her life has been in ever since.  True or not, does JT’s ego need any more stroking?
  • Insider host Pat O’Brien is back in rehab, his second visit since 2005 when he entered for alcohol problems.  No one is saying what the reason is this time–although it has to be an overdose of tabloid journalism…

  • It’s another court date for Britney Spears today in the battle for custody of her two children with Kevin Federline, with emergency personnel set to testify about the night of Brti’s emotional meltdown and hospital trip.  It’s been suggested that if she doesn’t show up and testify, the outcome for her won’t be good–which means we can count on her to get drunk, get in a wreck and blame it on the paparazzi…
  • I read that American Idol contestant Sanjaya Malakar is involved in talks to headline a TV variety show with his sister Shyamali–ala Donny and Marie Osmond–and that it may air on MTV.  Sounds to me like a new version of Punk’d–only it’s the audience that’s getting pranked…
  • Country teen sensation and Grammy nominee Taylor Swift says more and more parents are thanking her at concerts for being a good role model for their kids.  Compared to Britney Spears, keeping your underwear on and out of court is probably enough…
  • Linkin Park’s next US kicks off February 12 and the band says  they will offer 360 degree "in-the-round" seating for fans in those cities where their shows have already sold out, so more fans will be able to see the show.  It won’t be a big adjustment for the guys since the show was already set to be performed that way, with the audience three-fourths of the way around…
  • The investigation into steroid use and distribution has targeted artists like Mary J. Blige, 50 Cent and Timbaland, who reportedly got prescribed shipments of steroids and human growth hormones in recent years.  investigators are only interested in who prescribed the drugs–and in Fiddy’s case, if it was used to pump up him or his bling…
  • OJ Simpson is back in Vegas and in the pokey there for violating terms of his bail by trying to get his bail bondsman to take a message to a co-defendant. The Juice is unhappy with testimony they gave prosecutors, and wanted him to know he was no longer in the next Naked Gun sequel…
